Abstract

At a time when greenhouse gases (GHG) are increasing rapidly, carbon dioxide is widely recognized as attended as a significant influencing factor. CCS is an important method to achieve the net-zero carbon target, which is effective in slowing down current global warming and mitigating climate changes, and works as a buffer stage for future fully renewable energy sources' usage. This paper mainly focuses on three means of carbon dioxide capture in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), pre-combustion, oxyfuel-combustion, and post-combustion. Their features would be explored through comparative analysis to discuss their applicability in the field of fossil energy. Generally, CO2 Capture is considered to have great potential for practical application in different power station types. Post-combustion can quickly adapt to existing thermal power plants and effectively reduce high carbon emissions, while pre-combustion can suit new stations and synergize with the development of clean energy, such as hydrogen. Oxyfuel combustion, which is still in the developing phase, could possibly reduce current capture costs significantly along with new materials and technologies developed. Although it is undeniable to develop renewable energy sources and promote the energy transition, fossil fuels will still be widely used to guarantee energy security for decades to come, which makes carbon capture technologies required to be emphasized since they can enable its low-carbon use of energy resources.
